No (not any more) Feb 16

I haven’t marketed my services for a long time because over the years, I’ve managed to build a good base of loyal and regular customers. This isn’t my first quiet period and I hope things will get better soon (I have to admit I’m a chronic optimist). Anyway, I’m at the end of my career…

Yes, I do! Feb 16

When I do have more free time, I try to watch webinars and learn more about my specializations in the translation field. On the other hand, I like to create content for learning Spanish and publish it on social media. It helps me to get more visibility, indeed!
